Before the Diagnosis of Bipolar Personality Disorder, There was a Child

This eight-hour workshop, split into 2 x 4-hour sessions, dives deep into the diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD).

During each session, Dr. Wendy will engage participants to reflect on the relationships they have, and the work they do, with individuals diagnosed with BPD. Case scenarios will be used in the sessions to demonstrate different aspects of support and care that can be provided to individuals who have a diagnosis of BPD. These will be interactive sessions in which you the participant can bring your curiosity and questions.

Woven throughout all sessions will be the importance of boundaries and safety, and a focus of these sessions is Duty of Care to Self.

Objectives of the workshop:

1. Understand what is meant by the term borderline personality disorder and diagnostic
   criteria
2. Identify easy-to-integrate communication skills to foster healthy interactions with
   individuals who have BPD, promoting empathy and reducing stigma
3. Identify crisis intervention strategies recognising and responding to crises associated with BPD, emphasising modulation of arousal and promoting a supportive
   environment
4. Understand the importance of collaboration with other people invested in providing
   support for individuals diagnosed with BPD
5. Identify strategies for self-care of professionals and carers.
